I am 17 years old, no license, early high school graduate (no job or college currently...).

I personally have never had an issue with drunk driving personally, but it's such a big deal and I'd like to help prevent it.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Please be serious....

Some years ago I bought some acres of moon from a website:

http://www.lunarregistry.com/info/faq_a.shtml

I always thought it was just something fun like naming the stars in the sky as a present but recently on tv I heard people talking about it as if it's something serius.

Do I really own these acres of moon? Will my nephews be able to claim it in the future for their use?

There is one month to go, 750,000 signatures are needed to stop the introduction of road charges or tax per mile. The lowest amount clocked up was £28 per month in the trials. So if the Road fund licence was dropped and pay per mile was introduced this women would approximately £336 in tax a mother running her children to school would have paid £86 for her months trial go to my 360 for further details or http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/traveltax/

but to what extent is it ok to use your rights and freedoms to spread hate?

What is wrong with it? Protecting children from unstable and potentially neglectful and abusive parents? It’s not abortion- sterilization doesn’t kill anyone. And since too many unmarried people and idiots have proven themselves too irresponsible, selfish and stupid to practice abstinence, we might as well sterilize them. People have proven that breeding should be a privilege, not a right. It would be protecting children and doing our society a big favor in the long run. Less illegitimate children and broken families mean less crime. Face it; although there are a few exceptions, there is an overall correlation. And I don’t think it’s fair to compare this to the Nazis-they sterilized people because of racism- this idea is for a moral cause.

A hairdresser bleached my hair without telling me. She has damaged my hair. Her husband was applying the bleach at one point and i dont think he is a qualified hairdresser nor an apprentice. Is this allowed? I mentioned to her that my scalp was hurting but she ignored this. She has ruined my hair and i need to have the colour corrected. However my concern is that it seems just anyone can be a hairdresser even if they dont know what they are doing. Is there a body that regulates the licencing etc? I have confirmation from two independent hairdressers that she has damaged my hair.

if a person was charged with committing a crime and then was acquitted, doesn't it make sense that now, with DNA and other advanced forensic techniques that can prove that he really did commit the crime, he should be retried? this would require a change in the constitution.

we are afforded protection from "double jeopardy," which is having to stand trial more than one time for one offense. but an amendment to the constitution is so very hard to pass!!!

my logic tells me that if a convict can later prove, via such advanced forensic techniques, his innocence and therefore be set free (or retried so that the real culprit pays for the crime, therefore being set free), then:

it only follows that if DNA identification or any other proven modern technology can show that the so-called innocent REALLY AND IN FACT committed the crime that he was acquitted of not having done, that he should stand trial again.

kindly support your opinions. thanks!
